MYO Ring Sling
No-Sew
Sling - by Rev. Jan at Sleeping Baby Productions
Grab a piece of fabric, fold it over some rings, and there
you have it - a no-sew ring sling.
Fanned
Shoulder Style - by Sling Me Mommy
The easiest ring sling to sew, and the easiest to wear.
We feel that this style of ring sling has the shortest
learning curve and the highest level of comfort. Makes
a great first sewing project!
Pleated
Shoulder Style - by Rev. Jan at Sleeping Baby Productions
Just slightly more difficult than the fanned shoulder,
these instructions result in a more tailored looking and
trimmer shoulder.
MYO Soft Pack Carrier (ABC)
Asian
Baby Carrier - by Rev. Jan at Sleeping Baby Productions
A rectangle of fabric with a strap coming out of each
corner. Great instructions for a basic style of carrier
used in Asia for centuries.
